Do you think there is a code for success?

Or does luck play a factor...?

Why do some people become rich and famous off of youtube and others don't?
Why do some talented actresses make it and other talented acresses don't?
How do some random businesses just take off and become unexpectedly popular and others don't?

I guess what I'm asking is, do you believe that luck is a factor in success?

And I'm not talking about success based on opportunities that are handed down from mommy and daddy. I'm talking about success starting from the bottom up.

What are your thoughts?

I found most things that were successful were the result of timing and intuition.I think we make our own luck.

@Northerner timing and intuition are everything. But don't you think taking risks would be another factor? like possibly taking a risk when you don't really know the guaranteed outcome?

@Girlygirl099 Every deal I do and have done have risks. I was a born gambler. I know I will not win on every deal or lose on every deal. I am a good loser but I love to win.

@Northerner Hey - you can't win the lottery if you don't buy the tickets ;)
Okay you possibly can, but you get what I am saying!

@Girlygirl099 Yes I know what you are saying.. You are only here once, take a chance. I wish you all the luck in the world.
